How many electrons maximum can be in one orbital?

There can only be 2 electrons in each single orbital, and they will be on opposite sides of the electron cloud (orbital).


How many electrons are in each orbital of hydrogen?

2


How many electrons fill each orbital?

s-orbital = 2e- (s) orbital can hold 2 electrons, each with opposite spin. p-orbital = 6e- (p) orbital can hold 6 electrons in 3 suborbitals, so 2 electrons in each d-orbital = 10e- (d) orbital can hold 10 electrons in 5 suborbitals, so 2 electrons in each f-orbital = 14e- (f) orbital can hold 14 electrons in 7 suborbitals, so 2 electrons in each


How many orbitals can electrons hold?

6 electrons in total, 2 in each orbital


If each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons how many electrons can 2s hold?

17


How many p-orbitals are occupied in a K atom?

Twelve: 6 electrons in 2p6 and 6 electrons in 3p6. No electrons in 4p orbital in ground state, so 4p0, only 4s1 is occupied (4th period, group 1)


How many total electrons can P orbitals hold?

6 electrons in total, 2 in each orbital


How many unpaired electrons are in calcium?

There are no unpaired electrons in calcium, all 20 electrons are in pairs, i.e. each pair is configured in one orbital: 2x in 1s orbital 2x in 2s orbital 2x in each of the three 2p orbitals 2x in 3s orbital 2x in each of the three 3p orbitals and 2x in 4s orbital (these two are the valence electrons)


How many p electrons are possible in any orbital?

6 electrons can ocupy the 2p, 3p, 4p, and so on. each p subshell has 3 orbitals, and each orbital can hold up to 2 electrons, so each p subshell can hold up to 6 electrons total.


Each elecrton orbital can contain a maximum number of how many electrons?

Each orbital contains maximum or 2 electrons. you could be either asking for this OR s orbital contains maximum of 2 electrons (has 1 orbitals) p orbital contains maximum of 6 electrons (has 3 orbitals) d orbital contains maximum of 10 electrons (has 5 orbitals)


How many electrons can p orbitals hold?

It hold 6 thre p orbital (Px Py Pz) and each one hold two so total is six electron can p orbital


What does orbital notation show that electron configuration does not?

Orbital notation shows how the electrons are arranged in the orbitals of the sublevels. Electron configuration shows only how many electrons are in each sublevel.
